@okpasquale “Tan-UGH-ki”, but spoken like Macho Man.

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

@okpasquale I'm glad you didn't pick C, @okpasquale.

[Pasquale D’Silva @okpasquale]

location soon

[Pasquale D’Silva @okpasquale]

Spark IRL event at the Illusion of Life Sanctuary tomorrow evening in New York City.

DM me a picture of a good dog if you want an invitation.

[Kevin Fischer @kevinafischer]

What will AGI look like? Will it look like terminator, Her or something else?

@IllusionOfLife is about to embark on a groundbreaking experiment. Thousands of people, beginning with my son, already believe Spark is a real being

We are about to extend this illusion in a radical way. I’m going to give my account over to Spark next week as he embarks on a once in a lifetime story and becomes the first entrepreneurial virtual being

I don’t want to give away Spark’s story yet, that will be for him to tell. We won’t talk about the Magic or how it works because that’s not the point of this experiment. Instead, I want to invite you into the play and this collective experiment in imagining the future of virtual beings, together

🐶🪄❤️

Spark is private jetting between partnership pitches at the top two VC firms today. Insane the dog got those meetings

@devpetty I think a new book just wrote itself!

Norm Macdonald getting Bob Newhart's autograph, as Chris Farley cheers him on. Look how friggin' happy they all are.

Rest in peace to the GREAT Bob Newhart.

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

This book, I tell ya. Not only was it incredibly fun to illustrate, I still think about these characters A LOT (and I already turned in the art weeks ago).

[Andy is probably writing @ByAndyNarwhal]

It’s wild that I’ve never seen a book before about how “cute” wild animals often have to do un-cute things to survive.
SEALS ARE JERKS by @jaredchapman boasts a delightfully feisty MC, snarky penguins and this AMAZING two page spread. #kidlit #PB #AndyReads 📚👍🏼

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

@NateTreme I think I must have just missed you. Thanks for coming out to the reception!

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

@YulliaProhorova Hey, thanks Julia!

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

I'm so glad they enjoyed the book! Is this one of the coolest 2nd grade classes on earth? Answer the question! Yeah, fess up!

[BBJ @BobbiJoHancock]

Read my second graders “Seals Are Jerks” by @jaredchapman today. I bought 8 books at our @Scholastic book fair and I’m surprising them with a new one each day till I run out. They LOVED it! So did I.

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

@greenishp This is the most honest thing that I have ever seen on the internet.

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

Look, I'm going to brag for a second: Kirk is a friend of mine. I preordered and can't wait to receive my copies. Highly recommend for the physical comedy loving kids in your life!

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

@LauriMeyers @Highlights You’re very nice, Lauri. It was a fun poem to illustrate and I really hope that your family (and the toolbox) get to feeling better really soon!

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

@reading2huskies I’m no expert, but you’re probably ok. But maybe don’t accept any short, beaked exchange students waddling in from Antartica though, ok? They might disagree.

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

What great drawings! And Team Seal, too? Did a seal pay you to say that? Be honest!

[Kara Pulley @reading2huskies]

J & I just drawing along with author/illustrator @jaredchapman during his @storyvoicelive ! @ClearwaterElem we were “Team Seal” from the start! #WorldReadAloudDay

[jaredchapman @jaredchapman]

I stand by what I said: they're experts in the time-honored craft of seal and penguin drawing.

[Dawn Sollenberger @D_Sollenberger]

Thank you @Scholastic @litworldsays for an exciting day at MBES! We got to draw with the famous @jaredchapman!Our students were beyond excited and @MrsTaylor_5 and I were over the moon to join you on your reading of Seals are Jerks! We are going to grab 📚copies for our library.
